The ONE Source to follow on Twitter for Watson updates

The one to follow and who most believe is most likely closest to the situation is Aaron Wilson. He used to work for the Houston Chronicle, now for PFN, so he’s obviously got a plug. And he was the first one to talk about Watson narrowing things down to the Panthers and Saints…then the Browns and then the Falcons. He clearly has a source VERY close to Watson otherwise he wouldn’t be scooping the normal scoopers like Schefter, Rap, Fowler, others.


The biggest takeaway for Wilson being the guy is basically Underhill’s endorsement. Underhill had him on his podcast, a podcast where they have very few guests, and which Underhill said on the podcast he would be refreshing Wilson’s tweets constantly. Underhill doesn’t say things like that lightly so the guy is clearly very close to this. He was also the one to break that Watson was going to take the weekend. No one else reported that, not even some of these Falcon blue checkmarks who said it was a done deal and would be announced “imminently”


I’m not trying to give anyone hope. Watson might pick Atlanta. They might even be his favorite. But it hasn’t been reported, even when it’s been noted before the Saints were his favorites. No such update has been known about who the favorite is. We can speculate based on him taking the weekend. But if Wilson and Underhill both say he’s not made a decision yet, we should believe them. He could be leaning ATL but it’s clearly not something he’s let his camp know about. So just relax and try not to invest too much into this prima Donna
